TdF Stage 5

Right, i'm just in the door, been out on the bike n got caught in a thunder storm, so took shelter for a while

What happened to Brajkovic? i just saw him being put into an ambulance, saw Contador crash, seems like a bad day

I'm keeping EBH, I'll get GC points for him, and I'm hoping he'll be near the front at the end.

But then that's what I hoped for today...

He'd have won it if the stage had been 500m shorter  1

There was a moment when I was regretting swapping Voeckler for Millar.

Good stage to watch I thought, I get in at 3.30 and it's the first weekday one that I haven't fast-forwarded through vast chunks on Sky+.

Rojas got declassified from the intermediate, game being updated in case anyone's wondering why they can't see it

Nice, because of that it moved me up 10 places, lol

Any word on Boonen's move on Cav

I swapped out Gilbert for Feillu too, really bad decision  2

Time to start swapping riders out for the mountains yet?

Phil Liggett and some other fella.. I forget. As well as the commentary, we are treated to the sagely words of Chris Boardman delivered via his programme sandwiching adverts. Apparently "Racing is not an activity - it's a mindset".

I'm going to try this next week and see if I can think my way round the cx course rather than pedal.

good stage that. I particularly enjoy the info nuggets from the itv commentary team, as well as the usual chateau-facts we also got cow-facts, oyster-facts and migratory-bird-facts. Something for everyone there.

I think i should maybe start watching them, but i dont like the team, is it still them who used to do the channel 4 coverage years again? Phil Harmason or something like that

Boonen looked in a bad way. Christophe Kern abandoned as well as Brajkovic.

That was one hell of a finish.

No, Feillu :(. At least he picked up a few points at the intermediate sprint.

So did I! At least I've got the points to get him back in or do I go now for Cadel, which was my plan.

So 2nd, 10th, 12th for me today, i switched out Tony Martin for Millar, so quite happy he stayed outta trouble, but with Cav winning its only an extra 2 points

Gilbert got a bucket load today with his points  4

Its still showing Jerome in last which is good, Boonen came home 13 mins down, but i think he's done some major damage and will not be in tomorrow
